Obama Loses, Clinton Wins

As sure as the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, poll numbers are evincing the incontrovertible data that Barky struggles while Hillary wins.

And yet...Obamazoids are still unconvinced...throwing the audacity of their hope in a candidate that's been shown to fall wide off the mark. Indeed, the latest MSNBC and WSJ poll shows that without Hillary on the ticket, Dems are in for another heartbreaking but predictable loss in November.

The Chosen One nationally leads by three points -- within the margin of error but Hillary leads by six points -- outside of it.

Of course between the cold hard poll numbers, the shills at MSNBC try to frame the results so they can continue to perpetuate the meme that Hillary is a polarizing figure lest ANY superdelegate consider switching his or her allegiance to Hillary in light of Obama's dismal numbers.

[S]he remains a polarizing figure: 49 percent say they don’t want to see her as president someday, and 42 percent view her favorably versus 41 percent who seeher in a negative light.

Again, the howler hates to keep beating the dead horse of past elections but she insists on reminding Dems what conventional wisdom foretold in 2000 when just about every media pundit asserted that Gore should not ask Clinton to help campaign because, well, just because....and Gore listened...and Gore lost.

One thing you have to give Dubya; he refused to allow media elites to direct how he would govern. He gave the big middle finger to critics like he was the most popular president in the history of the United States and proceeded with his disastrous policies over media and public outrage.

The moral of the story is to be very careful before one listens to media driven conventional wisdom. Especially since contrary to what newshounds would like Dems to believe, they're not on their side but of corporate America; you know, the folks who judiciously hand out caviar with champagne and control their cushy expense accounts.

Enough said. If media tea leaves are to be believed, superdelegates will anoint Obama; and Obama will pick some second-rate candidate to be his running mate. History will record once again how Dems lost it all because of some misguided animus toward Bill Clinton, the second most successful Democratic president in the 20th century (for which his wife paid the ultimate consequence -- a confounding snub).
